This bear was one of the largest bodied bruins that any of my clients have taken in thirty years. A single 200 gr Nosler Partition from the hunters 300 mag. stopped it within 30 yards.

[quote=MarineHawk][quote=moosemike][quote=Royce]Anybody else remember this O'Connor account? He encountered a grizzly while hunting for another species, and sat down and put the crosshairs of his 270 on the bear's shoulder. He wrote something like "If I had pressed the trigger, that wicked little 130 grain Speer would have smashed it's shoulder..." but he didn't shoot.
Currently, a 130 Speer isn't considered by most to be a decent bullet for under nourished deer."

O'Conner was an ass. Anyone who would deliberately ass shoot an animal to slow it down enough so that he could get up on it to finish it does not have my respect. I learned more on my first and solo sheep hunt than I did from his subsequently purchased " Sheep and Sheep Hunting"
